Cheek implants are the Gold Standard, compared to a permanent filler. Implants are also a reversible operation, adding a feature not available with injectables.

Once you have the permanent injection, it cannot be removed.

A temporary filler, or even sterile water, can be injected into your cheeks, giving you an idea of what a cheek implant would look like on your face.
